Optimism is good, Lord knows everybody in this industry needs some...but how can one honestly say "As for financial trouble, we are fine" and "Fuel won't affect us as much as others" in the current environment?

In case it hasn't been made blatantly obvious in the past, I am 100% for Expressjet and really wish nothing but the best of success for your company and your pilot group.

I agree, the price of FUEL is KILLING everyone, especially the 50 seat jet

Couple other things were in play. But 1 company already proved this point not too long ago.

In reality I have no doubt XJT will do fine. Things are going to be rough for all airlines in the near future though. Good luck to all of us in this goofy industry.
